I think the primary determinant here is whether or not he has a beneficial interest in the account, but it's not really clear. We can only assume he does because they're married.

I don't know the details; but your point is important, I guess. If Rock is just a buy-side analyst, and not the portfolio manager of the wife's account, it sounds OK to treat her account as a regular account.

Could it be because the beneficial interest story only applies to the oversubscribed IPO issue?

A is right. while you need to let ALL clients know and the info should go public, you shouldn't disadvantage anyone (including the wifey) just b/c she's the wifey. fair and equal treatment. obama-style if you will.
